Tempus Applied Solutions (TAS) announced today that the company has finalized the acquisition of six Lockheed L-1011s formerly owned and operated by the Royal Air Force (RAF) of the United Kingdom.

The aircraft previously served the RAF and NATO.

We can now focus our attention on military customers in the USA and NATO that have urgent requirements for air-to-air refueling services." Terry added, "Now that the deal is closed, our potential customers can better understand our commitment to the aerial refueling mission."
